Ashton Bardzell, a senior at New Jersey's Ramsey High School, has tied Mike Trout's state record for home runs in a season with 18.
Bardzell could be selected in MLB's First-Year Player Draft next month.
"He's the man. He's the best player in the league right now," Bardzell said. "So I mean, It's an honor."
Trout attended Millville High School in New Jersey.
